St. Anthony's Catholic Church (1913)

This guide to St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Kuala Lumpur follows the Tamil-speaking Catholic community that waited thirty years, from 1883 onward, for a church of its own, praying in borrowed rooms while a site and funds kept slipping away. It centers on Father Louis Duvelle, whose efforts secured the ground where the foundation stone was laid in 1913, before he was transferred away to Penang. Look up at the stained glass and the two wings, built at different heights as the parish grew.
